2008, 6 million Americans didn't vote because they missed a
registration deadline or didn't know how to register. In 2013, we
want to make sure no one is left out. National Voter Registration
Day is a single day of coordinated volunteer, technology and media
efforts aiming to create widespread awareness of voter registration
opportunities. Already Registered to Vote? Remind your friends to
